A'^'^ 









It's glory and fame that follow 

A fighting soldier's name — 

But you can't fill up on glory 

And you can't exist on fame; 

And I may be peculiar, 

But I've said it oft before, 

That the man who risks his life for us 

Should have a dam sight more 

Than 

Thirteen dollars a month. 

And maybe you don't remember, 

Or memory fails to suit, 

How when the draft was on you went 

And furnished a substitute ! 

You home a-makin' money 

And safe from bullets and swords — 

He at the front with an offer— 

The best that life affords — 

At 

Thirteen dollars a month. 

You call him a government pauper, 
With growls and grumbles and frets ; 
And kick away like an old bay steer 
At the pension that he gets; 
Right here I want to tell you, 
And keep it under your hat — 
You ought to get six months in jail 
And twice a year at that, 

Without 

Thirteen dollars a month. 

And you ought to live on hardtack 

And get an elegant fill 

Of the water the poor old fellow drank 

Down at Andersonville, 

And maybe, when your year was up 

The lesson you were taught 

Might show you why we pension those 

Old veterans who fought 

For 

Thirteen dollars a month.

Of the Spring Waters found at these Springs^ Dr. 
Sa??iuel Gross, of Philadelphia, wrote as follows : 

" 1 have had opportunity to try vaiious medicines and the various 
mineral waters of this country and Europe, and I am free to confess 
that, as an eliminator of diseased conditions of the digestive organs, 
and as a healing agent to the mucous membrane lining the alimen- 
tary tract, the waters of these springs are certainly superior to any 
curative agents I have ever examined." 

Beneficial to Stomach, Liver, Kidneys and Bowels 

Two trains daily from Chicago. Through sleeper on night trains. 

HOTEL RATES range from $8 up to ^35 per week, including free 
use of waters. Accommodations from the plain boarding house 
up to the finest apartments and service to be obtained in the best 
metropolitan hotels.

The Fellow Who Can Whistle 

By Sidney Warren Mase 

The fellow who can whistle when the world is going wrong 

Is the fellow who will make the most of life ; 
No matter what may happen, you will find him brave and strong — 

He's the fellow who will conquer in the strife. 

The fellow who can whistle when the whole world seems to frown 

Is the kind of man to stand the battle's brunt ; 
He's got the proper metal, and you cannot keep him down, 

For he's just the sort that's needed at the front. 

The fellow who can whistle is the fellow who can work, 
With a note of cheer to vanquish plodding care ; 

His soul is filled with music, and no evil shadows lurk 
In his active brain to foster grim despair. 

The fellow who can whistle is the "trump" card of the deck, 
Or the "whip-hand," in the parlance of the street ; 

No petty cares nor trifles can his buoyant spirit check, 
For a sunny heart can never know defeat. 

The fellow who can whistle — he is built on nature's plan, 

And he cheers his toiling fellow-men along ; 
There is no room for pessimists, but give to us the man 

Who can whistle when the world is going wrong. 




Kerens the Check Protector for 
Which YouVe Been Looking 

A small compact device, the base about 3 inches square, the height about 2 
inches — strongly built. The top is nickel-plated — the base black japanned. It is an 
ornament to any desk. 

It's copper faced type embosses the desired amount ($5 LESS THAN FIVE 
DOLLARS $5) etc., on the face of the check, cutting each letter so deeply that 
the specially prepared indelible ink impregnates the fibres of the paper, making n 
absolutely impossible to raise the check. 

Stamps various amounts from $5 to $500. Enough for all practical purposes 
as larger checks do not pass through the hands of those who would tamper with 
them. 

The check is inserted face up and you print the line just where you want it. 
The machine is readily set for any given amount. The felt ink roll is all felt — 
not a wooden block covered with flannel. It will hold ink to last for months. 

We are so sure that you will find the machine in every way to your liking 
that we will send it prepaid on receipt of the price, $5.00, and if you don't want 
to keep it, send it back at our expense and we'll return your $5. Address
